Rave 99.9

K

K6JHU

KMGG (99.9) with a whopping 100 watts is running an HD-2. My car radio had no difficulty locking on to the signal. Second, for the dance entusiasts out there (and from the postings, I suspect a few) the HD-2 bills itself as Rave 99.9. The dsipaly also says testing so I am not sure what the future is.
 
It never really occurred to me that an LPFM would broadcast an HD radio signal but I guess anyone with a transmitter can do it. I wonder how many other LPFMs do that? Listening to the dance station for a couple of hours there was no mention of any "Rave" brand, just a continuous stream of songs with the top of the hour ID calling it "Pirate Radio 99.9 HD2" so they may now be trying to use Vanguards' former moniker on KSFE 96.7. The stream is also called "The Planet" so there seems to be a jumbling of names at the moment. However the 96.7 Pirate Radio social media pages are still up and there was some mention of an online stream coming but that was over a month ago. The format on this station leans more on vocal EDM and some rhythmic pop songs going back to the 80s but there are still some instrumental tracks as well. KSFE initially had a continuos mix with the music still playing during commercials and then later playing shorter songs around Spring. As to the other HD channels, Jazz Cafe is pretty similar to 103.7 The Oasis so Albuquerque now has two smooth jazz stations! WilD HD3 plays a lot of throwbacks and currents although this market has four hip-hop stations already.
 
Depends on your perspective. Then again, I know enough about Albuquerque to figure out more or less where it is from the video. The continuity was lacking, though - they could have told a story with this but didn't.

I wonder what the neighbors thought of this project.

KVCB-LP - Wikipedia owned by a school runs HD
 
The stream is now playing rock music and waiting for the top-of-the-hour ID it called itself "Planet Rock" KMGG-LP HD2 "Where Rock Lives". It's a pretty strange music mix too:

Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil
No Doubt - Spiderwebs
Bad Wolves - If Tomorrow Never Comes
Hum - Stars
Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff (completely uncensored)
Disturbed - Bad Man
Alter Bridge - Silver Tongue
Hootie and the Blowfish - Only Wanna Be With You
The Beatles - A Hard Day's NIght
Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away
Nothing More - Tired of Winning
Five Finger Death Punch - Times Like These
Chicago - Make Me Smile
The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be

The "Rave" logo is still shown on the stream page. Well that sure didn't last long.
